Rákosi, György 2025 Accusative case, possessive structure and grammaticalization: Reflexives and object pronouns in Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian 19, Onea, Edgar and Balázs Surányi (eds.), pp. 79–114 | Article

Hungarian reflexives and 1sg and 2sg object pronouns have a possessive origin, and, together with 1sg and 2sg possessive noun phrases, they exhibit accusative case drop to varying degrees in object positions in a language that is otherwise consistently accusative marking. This paper argues that… read more

Rákosi, György 2020 With or without the definite article: On the syntax of anaphoric possessor strategies in Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 16: Papers from the 2017 Budapest Conference, Hegedűs, Veronika and Irene Vogel (eds.), pp. 115–136 | Chapter

That noun phrases may constitute a binding domain is a key component among the parallelisms between the syntax of noun phrases and clauses. Reuland (2007, 2011) and Despić (2011, 2015) have shown recently that the definite article plays a crucial role in delimiting this domain, since dedicated… read more

Rákosi, György 2015 Psych verbs, anaphors and the configurationality issue in Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 14: Papers from the 2013 Piliscsaba Conference, Kiss, Katalin É., Balázs Surányi and Éva Dékány (eds.), pp. 245–265 | Article

The paper brings evidence that stative object experiencer verbs (aggaszt ‘worries’) and dative experiencer verbs (tetszik ‘appeals to’) are two-place unaccusatives in Hungarian, and it argues for a free merger account of the two internal arguments of these psychological verbs. It discusses binding… read more

Rákosi, György 2014 Chapter 7. A case of disagreement: On plural reduplicating particles in Hungarian The Evidential Basis of Linguistic Argumentation, Kertész, András and Csilla Rákosi (eds.), pp. 179–198 | Article

The chapter discusses the so-called Hungarian reduplicating particle verb construction that has generated some interest in the pertinent generative literature on Hungarian. This literature is divided over whether reduplicating particles can bear plural morphology in the presence of a third person… read more

Laczkó, Tibor and György Rákosi 2013 Remarks on a novel LFG approach to spatial particle verb constructions in Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 13: Papers from the 2011 Lund conference, Brandtler, Johan, Valéria Molnár and Christer Platzack (eds.), pp. 149–178 | Article

In the paper, first we present the essence of our recent analysis of Hungarian particle verb constructions. The main goal of the paper is to explore the nature, consequences and ramifications of this approach in a detailed comparison with certain salient previous accounts which are directly… read more

Rákosi, György 2009 Ablative causes in Hungarian Approaches to Hungarian: Volume 11: Papers from the 2007 New York Conference, Dikken, Marcel den and Robert M. Vago (eds.), pp. 167–196 | Article

In this paper, I discuss the grammar of ablative causes in Hungarian, and the ensuing ramifications for the general treatment of cause PPs in anticausative constructions. I argue that ablative causes are more diverse than they are generally assumed to be. In particular, a distinction must be made… read more
